Hi all,
As you might have heard Wikimedia Nederland, Wikimedia UK, Wikimedia
France and Europeana are collaborating to provide a set of tools to get
material from GLAM institutions onto Wikimedia Commons. The Wiki GLAM
Toolset has to be created in a way that re-use can easily be tracked,
and that Commons materials can easily be integrated back into the
collection of the original GLAM. You can find more about the Wiki GLAM
Toolset on our project page.

Currently we are looking for wiki-developers who can help us in this
process, if you are interested please let us know. You can find more
specific information about our needs on our discussion page
